History
and Pictures
We both lived and worked in Pittsburgh until we moved to San Diego,
California in 1973 to escape the cold and snow and pursue our careers
in a warmer climate. Jeannie specialized in the executive travel
business and Dennis was advancing within the financial services
industry. Jeannie even escorted a tour group to Mainland China for
three weeks visiting all of the historic and cultural sights within
China.
In 1980, Dennis was promoted to a senior management position and
we relocated to the Walnut Creek,, California area for two years
before again Dennis was promoted to the Senior VP of Marketing with
Washington Mutual Service Corporation in Seattle, Washington. Jeannie
continued with her career as the Senior Manager of a large travel
company in the Seattle area.
Again, the fortunes of climate and advancement allowed us to move
to Kailua, Hawaii, which is on the windward side of Oahu. We worked,
played and generally enjoyed ourselves in the sun, sand and waters
for fifteen years before having the opportunity for both of us to
be able to take an early retirement. Unfortunately, to do so, we
had to move back to the mainland and chose the southwestern part
of Florida. Granted, there is an occasional hurricane, but we are
still in the warmth and sunshine year round.
